Fly Away

I am restless in my complaint

And I moan silently

When will You answer me?

Their tongue attacks violently

My heart is severely pained

My soul longs for peace

I’m tired and overwhelmed

When will the attacks cease

If I had wings like a dove

I would fly far away

Searching for peace

And to be at rest, is what I pray

 

When will there be peace?

When will the battle end?

When will the swords be removed?

LORD, come and defend

I will call out to You

The one who will redeem my soul

I cast my burdens on the LORD

Restore me and make me whole

As for me, I will call upon God, And the LORD shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.

Psalm 55: 16-17
